Krzysztof Płonka ( 1972), Intropium

patinated bronze, 50 x 30 cm, weight about 30 kg., the sculpture consists of two parts, cast in pure bronze, one of which is thermally darkened and the other gilded

The artist about his work: It is a monumental, ancient head sculpture exuding an enigmatic and disturbing aura. Its austere black surface gives the work a dark, cosmic character, almost detached from this world. However, the most intriguing element of the sculpture is a golden fragment that can be detached, revealing unusually, complex internal structures. Introipium, through its unusual, mysterious nature, prompts the viewer to reflect more deeply on the limits of human knowledge and existence. It is a sculpture that provokes fundamental questions about the nature of reality. Its enigmatic nature makes the work oscillate between beauty and horror, forcing the viewer to independently interpret the meanings hidden in it. Provenance: from the artist's studio
